Slowly, but surely, I improve. First a couple of speed doodles (With blueline still on it, because I wanted to show how the pose improved/didn't) Mindflayer Monk. Bug Dude of some description (Peaceful, although it doesn't look it. ) And trying to improve on my digital pencilling, with a face study.

^ Looks like you're using some method of head construction, but you're also skipping the part about basic proportions. In the book or tutorial or whatever, check where it talks about how wide an average head is, measured in eyes most likely, and how tall it is compared to its width, or something like that.

I was going to say "Easily fixed, 90% of that is the nose", and repost, but then Krita shat itself while cutting and moving, and appears to have hung (Joy). But yeah, I see where you're coming from, and 90% of it is the nose/upper cheeck, the other 10% being the chin. Anything on the other drawings? FAKE EDIT: Managed to get Krita not to crap itself for moving (I need a new gfx card... *sigh* ), so here's an at least partially fixed version. Only partially, there's a fair bit of the fiddly kind of cleanup to do.

So this is actually the national costume of a county nearby. I didn't include the shoes, which were black with oversized buckles. I thought it was enough of a witch costume as it is.

^The apron looks convincing to me. somehow it looks better than other fabric stuff you've posted, maybe the folds are more realistic, more weight to them.

But yeah, I see where you're coming from, and 90% of it is the nose/upper cheeck, the other 10% being the chin. Anything on the other drawings? Krita is a buggy piece of poo poo, the only useful thing about it is the seamless texture drawing mode. Try Clip Studio, get the trial, digital painting version is only $50 and they have frequent sales. For other drawings, try drawing each shape, like the side of an arm or a tentacle, with one continuous stroke instead of many small ones. That would make it look cleaner, and will be harder of course. Spend some time on the sketch to make it more precise and again cleaner, the the sketch is not supposed to look vague, it's the blueprint for your drawing. Draw the hands, don't shy away from things you don't know how to draw, instead look at your own hand or Google some photos. For pencilling and inking, maybe switch to physical tools for now. Using physical tools you'll get better much faster, it's more natural, it's less frustrating. Get lots of cheap paper, several technical pens of various sizes (I use microns) and maybe a brush pen like the pentel brush pen. And a pencil of course. E. And then of course you can digitally color your drawings and correct them. I usually just take a photo, so no scanner needed. loga mira fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Jun 14, 2015 |

Humboldt Squid posted:Was able to sneak in a few more hours on this tonight That is a very luxurious rhino. The contrast could probably stand a boost, but you might be able to just fix that afterwards with levels/curves. Cross-posting from the Making Comics thread, I'm doing a comic strip now called At the Zoo (http://www.atthezoocomic.com). It's intended to be very traditional and newspaperish (B&W strips with continuity during the week, Sunday in color). Here's what it looks like so far:

Though I'm still not satisfied with it. This theme has been good practice because I'm loving struggling with it. The hardest part is trying to see the shape in my head. Most dresses are just one big plane crunched and folded and my brain keeps saying "these folds make no sense AT ALL why is it crinkly there why do the shadows fall at the top and the bottom and sometimes midfold too?" I needed to step back and do what I know for a bit to get a better handle on this.

First time seriously spending more than half an hour drawing in the last five years and my first time painting digitally. I want to make this a habit. It felt sooooo good. This is still under work - I've erased the knees about a half dozen times. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also, when I was working on this in photoshop the colors were a lot less saturated. When I went to save it they suddenly became more orangey. Is there a way to prevent that?

sigma 6 posted:CnC welcome. Sure. The front hand is nice, give the knuckles the correct curve (middle finger knuckle is the highest point) and smooth out the thumb area and it will be very nice. The other hand is all weird. The face is too flat, the eyes need to be deeper, the mouth needs to be higher, quick mask and move job on the face to show what im talkin abt: I forgot the eyes, they arent focused on the creature. Did a cross-eyed thing with this head from an old sketch, wanted to do a panel from a comic but decided to test it with a simpler model

This definitely helps. I just gotta really work on the face. I totally agree about the eyes. They have been a struggle. Painted the background and hood tonight in oil. First time using it. It is so... buttery. Daily sketch.

neonnoodle posted:I like the style you're going for here, but I think this needs some serious reworking because the keys are popping all over the place. Map out the circular/elliptical arc that the character will make and do a really conservative cycle first. Fair call. I guess I better dig out the ol' Animation Survivial book I bought ages ago and read more of it / practise more.
